Displaylink ceases to work in 10.13.4

Getting ridiculous.

So far from what I understand there is still now way or work around to have my 'previous' TWO external monitors running of my macbook air.

It used to work so well

so far the clone method and airport methods will still not enable my two monitors to work.

I really really can't be arsed to downgrade my mac update but believe me I will NEVER update my OS again.

This is totally ridiculous.

I can confirm the new method (w/ the new DL Beta —>Useragent.app permission —>AirPlay works great on MacOS Beta 5 released 05/14/18. I'm using it on my mid-2012 MBAir - happy to finally have it back in clamshell mode and not using an Apple TV or SwitchRes App to workaround. This solution provides as close to the same setup/ functionality I had before upgrading.

Thanks to the DL Team for the continued effort!

anyone having issues with the 2nd display getting stuck in mirrrored mode?
Mine went to sleep and when it woke up both displays are mirrored.
I tried to turn off airplay, unplug, ect, but everytime it comes back it shows up as a mirrored monitor, even though the system THINKS there is a second monitor (mouse travels past edge of screen).

I'm getting the same thing. I can't get the DisplayLink screen to work in extended mode. Even when AirPlay says it's being extended, it only displays what is on the primary screen.

It'd be really nice if they would just fix the issue already, the workaround makes a 2nd monitor usable, but for crying out loud, fix the issue!!!
